EBeauty receives hundreds of donated wigs every week in the mail. We need the help of volunteers to sort through these packages and organize the wigs. Every volunteer will get a quick tutorial and before the day is over you will know more about wigs than you ever thought possible!
Every wig donated to us is from someone who is looking to help another woman out as she is going through cancer treatments. We also have new wigs donated by American Cancer Society by the pallets. Wigs can be very pricey and are usually not covered by insurance. It is amazing how much happiness a simple wig can bring to someone during such a tough time. The ability to feel beautiful is a beautiful thing!

Mission Statement
EBeauty's mission is to improve the quality of life of women undergoing chemotherapy treatments through the implementation of its Wig Exchange Program and through awareness building events. EBeauty's primary goal is to provide all women, regardless of economic status, access to wigs in order to restore their self-image and confidence during cancer treatments.
Description
Life has many challenges, whether emotional, financial or spiritual. As a two-time survivor of breast cancer, Carolyn Callahan Keller, the founder of EBeauty, knows this first hand. Following her own experience with cancer, Carolyn and her husband, Mark, started a non-profit organization in 2011 to support other women undergoing treatment for cancer. EBeauty offers a number of cancer support programs and volunteer opportunities leveraging resources at the community-level.
In the year following EBeauty’s formation, two of Carolyn’s sisters-in-law were diagnosed with cancer. Carolyn provided a wig to one of her sisters-in-law who then offered it to the other upon completion of her treatment. Carolyn immediately recognized that the progression of wigs from one woman to the next both fulfilled a critical need for the patient undergoing treatment; and empowered the survivor by allowing her to give back as she progressed to the next stage in her recovery. Carolyn decided to focus EBeauty’s efforts first and foremost on bringing this type of exchange to scale.
